ANAHEIM, Calif. — The Anaheim police dog shot in the face during a confrontation with a suspect was expected to undergo additional surgery Friday, though the German shepherd's condition was continuing to improve, officials said.

Bruno suffered a shattered jaw and damaged lung when a gunman opened fire during a confrontation with officers in an alleyway late last week. The suspect, a 21-year-old man who was being sought on a possible probation violation, was shot and killed by police.
